I see the point in cases of ones where there are no traces but road geometry makes 100% clear that railway was there and probably would not delete them. I see point in cases where track of former railway is marked/ memorialized/etc and that info is mentioned on OSM object. But for cases where new road is matching geometry but shape is not recognizable at all as track of former railroad, and historic maps are needed to recognize it? Deletion should happen, OSM is not for objects that are gone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Interior_Seaway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural_Ocean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundance_Sea and other https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Historical_oceans also left traces and are not mappable in OSM
